Fat fat fattt

This morning I was feeling much better; just have a sore throat and a head ache. I will be fine.

We went to the market this morning since it was a little cooler in the morning. Glad we did, the afternoon was KILLER. I went to visit Anita at her stand and sat with her for a while. The lady that shares the stand with her brought her daughter since she was sick, but she was afraid of us. Started crying instantly.

It’s funny, at home if you are sick, you have to stay in bed and it’s almost like you are punished. Here when you are sick, you are spoiled rotten. This girl was given sweets and a big bottle of Pepsi. Which she proceeded to drink from a straw that she got off of the ground...and they wonder why she’s sick? Blah.

Anita’s sister was working with her today too and decided that I was getting fat and she too felt it necessary to let me know. She said, “ohhh you are getting FAT! Your body structure, it is just so much bigger. You look soooo fantastic.” Awesome. Thanks.

I GOT MAIL TODAY! From a lot of people. That made me super happy. Actually, we stopped at the post office before going to Anita’s and she was almost as excited about my mail as I was and proceeded to read it all. I guess it’s good practice for her to read English?

It was nice to be back out on market day and not feeling sick anymore. There is just something about being in town on a market day and seeing all the people. I love the busyness of it all.

We got back home and were just DRIPPING in sweat. The sun was so hot today and there was absolutely no breeze. Looking forward to washing up, I went to the shower and of course the water was off. It hasn’t been off in about 3 weeks which has been fantastic, but it sure had good timing today haha.

Since it was so hot, it was a perfect opportunity to work on our lesson plans. We need to have them finished up soon so that the new interns can get a copy of them and print some stuff out and look over them before they come. ONE MONTH.ONE MONTH.ONE MONTH!

It rained for about 5 hours this evening and I enjoyed sitting outside in the compound under the little roof the fresh air.
